Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling presented a $2 billion budget ask to the Chicago City Council Tuesday.
During the hearing, Snelling answered questions about the budget and also expressed concerns about extremists within the police department.
"Once those investigations have been completed and due process has been served and we find we have members amongst our ranks who are members of hate groups we will do everything that we can to remove those members from our ranks," Snelling said. "There is no policy right now that says a police officer cannot be a member of a hate group," Taliaferro said.
"We are looking to create a system where those calls for service that are of non-criminal nature that we have someone else respond to those calls this will free officers up," Snelling said.
